DEATH.

o Death. the CoLsecrator.
Nothing so sanctifies a name
AS TO be written-dead;
Nothing so wins life from blame
So covers il from wrath and shame
AS does the burial bed.
OsDeath, the Revelatori
Our deepest passions never move
Till thou hast bid them wake;
We know not half how much we love
Till all below and all above
Is shrouded for our sake.
o Death. the great Peacemaker!
If enmity have come between
There's naught like Death to heal it;
And if we love-O priceless pain,
o bitter-sweet when love is vainl
There's paught like Death to seal it.

NEW YORK, Nov. Il, 1857.
Munson & Mcnamara.
DEAR SIRS:-The extraordinary demand
for seal plush, and the fact that this mate
rial has become greatly in demand in Lon
don and Paris. has made our market
perfectly bare of this class of goods: at the
same time scarce, and advanc-
ing rapidly with the manufacturers in
Yorkshire. IL order therefore to satisfy
the still continuous demand of our custO-
mers and rather than discontinue the
manufacture of all garments made of this
material, we have although reluctantly
purchased a quantity of seal plush at an
advanced price, which necessarily forces
us TO change our price list from this day as
per the enclosed memorandum.
The quality of these goods is fully up To
the standard. but at even nj those advant-
ed prices, the supply is limited, and if the
demand continues as il has during the last
few days our stock will soon be exhausted;
in which case il viii be utterly impossible
for us to take any more orders this season
however all orders booked Drior to this
date VIII be filled at old prices.
list Yours res pectfully, SIGNED.

BRrDGEPoRr,s GALA WEEK.
Opening of the Series of Winter Night
 FestIVal@.

Festivals.
 BRIDGEPORT, Dec 20.-The opening of Brideeport's series of winter night festivals, or the gala week, took place this evening and proved grand success. Beautifully illumi- mated arches spanned the main thoroughfares, while handsome Chinese lanterns were shown closely hung over and along the curb
 ings. Special and elaborate decorations were
 displayed by all the leading merchants in
 front of their places of business. In response
 to an invitation from the city, Governor
 Lounsbury arrived from Hartford at 5:30 to
 witness the opening. He was met at the
 depot by His Honor Mayor Zones and driven
 to the Sterling House where were gathered
 the aldermen, couneilmen, board of trade
 and city officials. Landlord Sands had pre-
 pared an elegant luncheon which was served to the party present. After luncheon the Governor and city officials were driven in carriages, preceded by the Wheeler 6 Will son band through the illuminated streets. All along the line the procession was greeted with perfect ovation of fireworks and col ored fire. Thousands came in from surround ing towns to witness the grand display, which is said to have been the finest of the kind ever made in New England and was certainly the graudest affair ever seen in this vicinity. The festivities will be repeated every evening. except Sunday, to and iuelud- ing January 2d.

Mrs. Nancy Greene, widow of the late Levi Gilbert. died yesterday at the good old age of eighty six years and nine months.
